Pretty broad question.
A massive terror attack? I consider that unlikely.
A generation-defining historical event? We had one in Covid.
A mass casualty event? Again, Covid.
An excuse to wage war on another country, remove American rights, consolidate government power, and enrich certain people? I think that’s quite possible. It worked extremely well for that purpose once.
(note I’m not one of those “9/11 was an inside job” conspiracy nuts, I just think there were some very smart, very greedy, and very evil people who seized the opportunity of 9/11 to effect the awful stuff)
Bush isn’t president anymore, and there’s already a reason to justify another two decade war.
In any case, theres domestic terrorism happening every day in the US including Trump’s Jan 6, and the twice a week school shootings.
Twice a week? According to this, there were 346 school shootings in the US in 2023. Almost enough for one per day. Then remember holidays and the winter and summer breaks…
I think this stat only counts K-12 schools too, not colleges.
Oh god, why do I do this to myself…fuck, ok, here we go
deep breath
Like almost all gun statistics that are shared in left-leaning media, this one is grossly misleading.
Casting a wide net, the database captures not only incidents in which a gun is fired on school property, but also those in which a bullet hits school property, whether or not school is in session. Incidents in which a gun is brandished but not fired and those in which there are no victims are also included.
So in this case, a “school shooting” can include incidents where there was literally not a single shot fired at all by anyone. A kid bringing his parents’ gun to school and showing it to his friends is counted as a “school shooting”.
I hate that you’re getting downvoted. This is good information. I appreciate the contribution.
People are not rational when it comes to guns, abortion, anything to do with children, etc. Contributing information is usually a bad idea and roundly rejected.
